reloading

Also this is a link to a site where you enter the costs of all your components and it figures the cost of your reloads. When you buy supplies..it may cost more initially but buy enough for a thousand rounds..which figures to be 3 bags of shot 1000 wads..1000 primers and 3 lbs of (target type) powder. Will usually cost less and save you more trips..And as someone said..talk to the local shooters..but find an astute one..not ol Joe that almost knows whats going on.

copy and paste the link..

Oh and keep an eye out on the bulletin board at your local club..I fing components for sale all the time at the one I frequent..Just bout some good ol Unique for my 20 and 28 ga loading as well as handguns..5 dollars a pound and I got 8 lbs that's a little more than 1 cent a piece for my 20 ga loads They have reclaimed shot available at the club too for 20 a bag..bring yer bag.. I happen to have a ton or so...so don't need it. and at a recent gun show I bought 5000 wads for my 20 ga loads for the princely sum of a dollar a bag(250)...You can save money if ya keep an eye out. I also have a shotmaker..makes good 8 1/2 size shot if ya pay attention. Fellow gave me 500 lbs of magnum BBs and 500 lb of Mag 2s and 4s..I'll use it to make shot with this winter.. Just bein in the right place at the right time. If I still loaded 12 ga I have 40 lbs of IMR 700X powder for loading..got it all cheap.. KYEOFGDs
